Valentine's Day

I had a great Valentine's Day yesterday! My day started with this song on KLOVE. 

I need to listen to this song every morning. 

Throughout the day I was reminded of how much God loves me. 

There is no greater love than His love!

A new word

Favorite conversation of the day.... I looked at one of my students at carline today and noticed that his jacket looked a little different. We've recently had some problems with his jacket so I was a little nervous about it. Me: Jonah, what happened to your coat? Jonah: oh don't worry it is comeoffable! Apparently you can take the outer layer off. But i had to turn around and try really hard when he used the word "comeoffable." Hilarious!!!!

Do Not Be Anxious

I've had this song stuck in my head all day long. 

This song/verse brought about some good conversations with my students today. It is great to have God's Word in my thoughts all day long!

New Plan

I've been feeling convicted over how much time I spend on my computer and ipad. I don't spend near enough time reading God's Word and praying. So I have a new plan. From now my electrontics (except my cell phone) will be turned off from 9:30pm-6:30am. That still gives me the time I need to get things done as well as do more reading.

I can do this! It isn't the end of the world. Can you tell I'm trying to convince myself? Lol! I rely way too much on these two things for my entertainment.

Starting now!
Ahh! I'm already 4 minutes late!
Shutting down now. :)

Out for a walk

My mom and Julie had a baby shower to go to this afternoon, so Dani came over to play at my house. We had a great time. Went for a walk, ran around in the field near my house, and met a nice kitty who really wanted to play. It was such a beautiful day! 

When we got back to my house Dani looked at me and said, "Auntie, do you have any food?"

"Yes, I do. Would you like some grapes?"

"Mommy, was wrong!" Was her response. 

Busted, Julie!! 

Hahaha! I will admit that I usually don't have a lot of food at my house. But it was funny to me that they had already had that conversation. 

2012 Goals (finally)

I started writing this post as my goals for this year (last month). The list was too long. There are so many things that I would like to improve on during 2012. Then I was listening to Klove and they were talking about choosing a word to strive to be during the year. They talked about the same thing last year too and I didn't think much of it, but this year I think I'm going to focus on it. 

At first I thought the word I would choose would be organized. I am not a very organized person. The most organized part of my life right now is my Pinterest boards. (bad bad bad) Over the last few months I've been so frustrated with how un-organized I am. Let me tell you, I've been really annoyed with this problem I have. 

As I thought about it longer I decided that my word for the year was going to be faithful. I want the Lord to find me faithful in everything I do: my time in the Word and prayer, with my family, friends, my job, the commitments I make, my finances, and how I take care of myself. I firmly believe that if I take care of the first two items on that list then the rest will fall into place.
